Great Find at Local TJ Maxx!!

Jul '08 Repete

I just had to tell my scrapping friends to check your TJ stores. Yesterday I found WeRMemoryKeepers, Metal Alphabets, in your choice of three choices, bronze, tarnished silver and brushed gold, each for only $4.99. Each set is in a very nice 5"x5" metal box. TJ also had adhesive and chipboard. I only bought one of the silver metal sets but will be going back and buying more.

TJ Maxx is totally an American thing. Like a discount store. Usually deals in clothes. At least the ones in my area did. I don't know of any on the West Coast, but I remember them in the Midwest.

ha, I like the way you americans talk. like 'wst coast' and 'midwest'. here, it's in the city or in Victoria or Melbourne or whatever but we never use east and west. It's cool to experience your culture
sorry to go off the main topic but it really doesn't apply to me

I didn't know TJMaxx had stuff either... sounds like pretty soon every store will be carrying scrappy stuff! lol You'll go to a clothing store like Old Navy or something and there will be a scrap section...

I found them in the stationary section of our store. I bought 3 packs of different papers (25 pieces of the same double sided paper in each pack) for $3.99 and we are going to divide them 3 ways. I also bought one pack of matching letters for myself($1.99). Good deal!!!

RE: Happy2Bscrapper: What section did you find it in?

Sorry for the late reply, I have been out of town. I found the scrapbooking items in the stationary section mixed in with the photo albums. In our store, it was found across from the candles. Oh, another find at TJ Maxx is Vera Bradley stationary and paper goods. I can't wait to go back. Good luck!!

A friend of mine just this weekend gave me a 12x12 Colorbok album that she had purchased at Ross, sort of like TJ Maxx... she had purchased about 5-6 albums for $5/each and gave me one.

We recently got a TJ Maxx, so I am going to have to check it out. I had never thought of looking for albums at Ross or TJ Maxx.

Thanks for the scoop, ladies!
